Repairing Your Marriage with Healing Conversations

Throughout life, we evolve and deepen our relationships in each chapter of our lives. And of course life takes it toll as well! When we notice that our relationships with our partners seems misaligned, or as though our lives are moving forward in parallel rather than crossover, we are acting out of duty or obligation, rather than love and commitment. Let’s remind ourselves of the reason we said “I do”! What caused you to fall in love with one another? How has that narrative now changed? How can we get back to loving desire?

Today, we're going back to the very beginning of the very first intimate connection - Adam and Eve. We are neuro-biologically and uniquely designed for intimate connection and are created to be known and to know intimately. Let’s dive in!
